    OK - I'll tell you what I think honestly then.

    This has nothing to do with Brand year or aesthetics.
    Addressing the ergos and the performance characteristics only.

    I see a lovely track bike that is not very well suited to NZ road riding conditions.
    The frequent surface hazards, condition of the roads, standard of road users and stringent speed law enforcement make it so.

    I like how you're a good cunt that can take a little ribbing

    btw, I agree with your assessment... my motivation to own that particular model would only be to own something that looks like somebody actually cared about how not only it was designed, but how it was put together (that's the impression I get when I poke around them)... of course, that is a cold comfort when your butt is asleep after 100km.

    Like the white one,but have to agree,that the pipes look a bit weird, and i don't like digital rev counters.
    Fucks sake,it took me long enough to get used to a digital speedo read out ,but IMO, i think the revs look better in analogue.

    PS;
    Why plaster your bike with free advertising stickers,when you've paid that company good money for their product?
    Unless they sponsor you racing,that one's got me buggered.

    It's a HRC product... if there was any bike that this was 'right' on, this would be it... that or a Xerox Ducati

    This is true,and i can live with that.(I have to.It's on my bike as well.)

    But it's not a "Dynojet" bike,nor is it a "Showa" bike.

    It's only my opinion,but i reckon that a lot of bikes come out with more then enough stuff stuck on them.

    Showa I could live with on that bike, don't like the Dynojet ones, but at least they're a suitable colour/type face for this bike... that Harris one would be the first to go though.

    First to go would be those hit with ugly stick mufflers though... seriously, WTF were they thinking???
